Do kids still get disciplined at school?

No. My wife just started her new job teaching 5'th-graders and it's insane. One of the kids is an evil little fuck who hits everyone because he knows he can get away with it. The last teacher had bruises all over her arms from trying to handle this brat but they're not allowed to even grab him when he goes bananas. They straight up told my wife to keep a table between herself and the kid at all times because she's not allowed to touch him in any way.

This kind of asshat kid would be put in one of those special ed classes back in the day. But in modern day, it seems classes combine kids into one giant happy group where teachers cant control them.
Man, if I was a kid back then it'd sure piss me off if someone was doing that. Every kid can appreciate the clever clown cracking jokes here and there, but for uncontrolled freaks, no way. I was there sit there learn and take notes. Never pissed off a teacher once.

This is factual. My wife was called a racist for telling a mother her 3rd grade child cannot read.

I'll take a guess and the parent is a broke retard. Birds of a feather.
Doesn't take a genius. At that age I was playing games on my brothers Apple II clone and watching cartoons. Dont even remember what I read back then but had a bunch of Richie Rich and Heathcliff books. And maybe once a month, my dad would take a few of us to the public library on a Saturday morning. We'd go to the kids sections and I have no idea what books he took out. On the way home for lunch, he'd grab McDonalds or KFC for the fam.
That's the one thing that was so odd about my dad. Strict when it came to school, not doing dumb shit like smoking, drugs or talking back. But didn't give a shit about staying up late, eating junk food or playing video or computer games. He never helped us with homework too. He'd just tell us to help each other. If he was a boss at work, he'd be a hands off boss. But once you fuck up, watch out. lol

Parents are ungrateful shits as well. Here's another anecdote: a girl I know works with kids and every summer they arrange free summer camp activities. This year they had to limit number of attendees because she and her colleague can only handle so many. She was in tears yesterday because all week parents have been calling her, yelling about how their kid didn't get in.
I can't imagine being a normal kid trying to study under these circumstances. When I was in school we had a dedicated guy who handled our class psycopath. He would sit with him in class, drive him to school activities etc. every day. Think of that!
In my wife's class half of the kids have disorders and diagnoses so it's unmanageable. And this isn't some fucked up ghetto school, it's your normal run of the mill countryside school.

When I was a kid our biology teacher was an ex vet. We called him Froggy Wilson cos when he lost his shit he'd jump around in circles with his eyes bulged out. His favorite thing in the whole world was to launch his chalk duster at kid's heads. The dude would literally wind up like he was pitching for the Yankees. None of the other teachers gave a shit. Back in those days you could bounce dusters off kid's heads, or even teach them choking techniques and it was fine. Was it better? I don't know. Maybe 3rd graders should learn hand to hand combat instead of biology.

Choking techniques is pretty good,could just count as self defense but bouncing dusters off kids heads? Do I even need to say why he shouldn't have been doing that?

The problem with that is OTHER peoples kids who don’t give a shit.

No, quite literally (nice to use that word properly for a change) a slipper.
Why? It bends so it hurts more. And it's handy as it's on your foot, so you don't have to go get the cane. Also later on, easier to hide (inspectors aren't going to take your slippers; much harder to explain having a cane handy).
My old-fashioned primary school had a cane. Physical punishment had fairly recently been outlawed when I was there, so it never got used. The odd slipper though... it would be on hand.
And parents of children there were okay with it as a) it was very rare and b) for many it was one of the reasons they sent their children there.
For the record, I never got the slipper. Just standing in a cold hallway at break time writing lines or, worse, staring at a wall.

You make a good point re: the pandemic. I believe the biggest outcome from the events involving lockdown and pandemic mitigation efforts is the toll on mental health for communities. As has been for many years, mental health treatment is one of the last things that's discussed regarding remedies to ailements, and it's not being recognized nearly as much as it should as a problem, let alone communities seeking solutions.

When i was young in elementary school, the discipline was basically getting beat every day by the teacher for 5 years
The bitch never learned that physical pain wasn't enough to make me do my homeworks
in my country they only stopped beating kids at scool around 1996 and parents were mad AF

Haha. Oh that makes more sense.No, it's an actual slipper you wear on your feet.
Used the same way as a paddle.

If he ever hurts her, get her to call the police. And then again every time he does it.
The police will eventually get people to sort their shit out (well not the parents, but eh oh).
No one should have to put up with that. Period.

The headmaster at my school did that once.
One day he threw a board eraser at a kid, but the kid ducked and it hit his taller friend behind him. Drew blood and caused enough of a stir that the whole school knew what had happened.
None of the parents gave a shit.

In italy parents would sue the teacher ass if he even look bad at a student, it's bad.in my country they only stopped beating kids at scool around 1996 and parents were mad AF
Everytime i tell someone that my teacher at elementary school beated the shit out of little children for 5 years they look me in disbilief.
I'm glad that i had that type of education, youngsters today are soft and unrespectful.

In Poland around 2000s you would have teacher commenting on the breasts of female students.

We had this one Chemistry teacher we called "Gripper", and angry, balding, 40-something manlett.
Then slowly we noticed he'd stopped knuckling kids on the head and instead smashed his fist down on the desk in front of you. Schoolyard grapevine said that Gripper had knuckled the wrong kid and that kids dad had come into the school one evening and given Gripper a slap and a warning not to ever hit his kid or any other kid ever again or he'd be back. We don't know who that dad was but he did all the kids a solid there.
